lyrics

Well it's just 2° out but I'm melting down
Just got the word that you're back in town
They say you're looking good and you're doing just fine
I just wish you'd done some of that when you were mine

My friends are all saying you've been looking for me
You must've forgot how I told you to leave
Not sure where you got the nerve you happened to find
But I wish you'd had some of that when you were mine

So no, don't reach me, don't try to find me
I'm not going to answer your call
You're telling everybody you've turned a new leaf
But as far as I'm concerned, nothing's changed at all

I heard you sobered up and you've been working hard
You quit your lying and cheating, and learned the guitar
Your new life is better and everything's fine
Well, but where the hell was that back when you were mine?
I could've used some of that when you were mine

So no, I didn't miss you, and no, I don't want you
And no, we're never going to be friends
They say the best revenge is living well
But where the hell do you get off taking revenge?

So you want to catch up with me now that you're back
Like you've got no expectations, but, babe, that's a laugh
I know you're looking for comfort and some peace of mind
Yeah, I could've used some of that when you were mine

So don't gimme your story, I don't wanna know how
I was sick of you then, and I'm sick of you now
That you're trying to give me just a piece of your time
Well, I guess you should've thought of that back when you were mine
Yeah, I could've used some of that when you were mine
